It goes without saying that the actions being branded by the far-right as the "BLM Kidnapping" have nothing to do w/ the movement.

The Black Lives Matter cult is animated by a hatred of normal American values. Its members idolize convicted, unrepentant black militants and cop-killers Assata Shakur and Mumia Abu Jamal and have declared "war" on law enforcement. While its members openly call for police officers to be assassinated, its leaders, wishing to seem more respectable before the TV cameras, downplay the insurrectionary rhetoric whenever a member kills a cop.These are sick people who need to be dealt with. The Black Lives Matter movement should be disbanded by force, if necessary, and its leaders arrested. Sedition and gangsterism aren't free speech. Returning to the video, in it one person says, "This # right here represents Trump" and says he will put the victim in the trunk of a car and "put a brick on the gas." The victim is forced to drink water from a toilet. The victim's clothes are sliced. An attacker cuts off a part of the man's scalp while his mouth is bound with what appears to be duct tape. A woman mocks the victim, saying, "Oooo, that bit's gone" as the man is menaced with a knife. "This s— is hilarious," the woman says while laughing. Another says, "Smack his #." The attackers allow their faces to be shown as if they don't expect to be held accountable for their actions. They even call each other by first names.

Not one legitimate news source linked the attack to BLM for the simple reason that no evidence of such a connection exists. Nor did I hear the movement being invoked at any point during the 30-minute video, which I watched in its entirety. An administrator of Centipede Central – a popular Trump supporter chatroom – was able to find the Facebook page of Brittany Herring, the young woman who filmed the act. Her public posts, which stretch back to September 2015, have no references to BLM either.At Bustle, Jessicah Lahitou whines that some have twisted "this isolated and highly disturbing crime into a false narrative about the Black Lives Matter movement." Reading from the same script as Menegus, she laments:
But it is sadly telling of the political moment we're in that so many on the far right jumped at this chance to demonize BLM, rather than seek facts and advocate for serious and severe repercussions for the four individuals responsible for this crime.Lilly Workneh, "Black Voices Senior Editor" at the Huffington Post, dutifully follows the party line, writing that the perpetrators "have no official affiliation to the Black Lives Matter movement and Chicago police said on Thursday that they have not made any connection to the racial justice group." But journalists are not the final arbiters of truth. Americans agree, which is why only "6 percent of people say they have a great deal of confidence in the press," according to the American Press Institute. It is demonstrably true that Black Lives Matter supporters embrace anti-white violence. They're thrilled when blacks assault whites while playing the "knockout game." They have been given aid and encouragement by President Obama, who has long tried to provoke civil unrest and racial antagonism. He has steadfastly refused to condemn Black Lives Matter. In fact, Obama has lavished attention on the movement's leaders and invited them to the White House over and over again. He even blamed five Dallas cops for their own murder at the hands of a Black Lives Matter-inspired sniper. As Colin Flaherty proves every single day, violent black-on-white crime is dramatically underreported. The mainstream media goes out of its way not to characterize obvious racially motivated crimes committed by blacks against whites as race-related. The Black Lives Matter movement never hesitates to go to bat for vicious thugs when they are black. They turned Trayvon Martin into a martyr even though he attempted to murder so-called white Hispanic Robert Zimmerman because he mistakenly believed that Zimmerman was gay. They beatified "gentle giant" Michael Brown after he attempted to murder decorated white cop Darren Wilson. They portrayed heroin dealer Freddie Gray as a victim of systemic, anti-black violence by police and cheered as Baltimore cops were subjected to political show trials. Whether the attackers in Chicago specifically said at any point in their lives, "I endorse Black Lives Matter" is irrelevant. They are doing the bidding of this antisocial movement. They are its vanguard. This article originally appeared today at American Thinker.
